Angela Rayner says former PM has no respect for voters, as Keir Starmer and Ed Davey turn focus to winning new seat

Weave got a bit more from Ed Davey, who has accused Boris Johnson of having aa track record of deceit and liesa.

I never thought he was fit to be an MP, let alone prime minister. He has a track record of deceit and lies.

But I hope today is not just about Boris Johnson. I think itas about the whole Conservative party who put him there in the first place.

I think there should actually be a general election.

I think the chaos and division in the Conservative party, the fact that theyare so out of touch on the cost of living, on the NHS, it means weave got to put the country out of its misery with these Conservatives.

As ever with the former PM there was plenty of barely hidden subtext as he took aim at perceived enemies

• UK politics live a latest updates

Boris Johnsonas statement announcing he will quit the Commons is not brief a more than 1,000 words a and, as ever with the former prime ministeras pronouncements, there is a lot of often barely hidden subtext:

I have received a letter from the privileges committee making it clear a much to my amazement a that they are determined to use the proceedings against me to drive me out of parliament.

They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons.

They know perfectly well that when I spoke in the Commons I was saying what I believed sincerely to be true and what I had been briefed to say, like any other minister.

They know that I corrected the record as soon as possible; and they know that I and every other senior official and minister a including the current prime minister and then occupant of the same building, Rishi Sunak a believed that we were working lawfully together.

Most members of the committee a especially the chair a had already expressed deeply prejudicial remarks about my guilt before they had even seen the evidence. They should have recused themselves.

In retrospect it was naive and trusting of me to think that these proceedings could be remotely useful or fair. But I was determined to believe in the system, and in justice, and to vindicate what I knew to be the truth.

It was the same faith in the impartiality of our systems that led me to commission Sue Gray. It is clear that my faith has been misplaced. Of course, it suits the Labour party, the Liberal Democrats, and the SNP to do whatever they can to remove me from parliament.

Sadly, as we saw in July last year, there are currently some Tory MPs who share that view. I am not alone in thinking that there is a witch-hunt under way, to take revenge for Brexit and ultimately to reverse the 2016 referendum result.

My removal is the necessary first step, and I believe there has been a concerted attempt to bring it about. I am afraid I no longer believe that it is any coincidence that Sue Gray a who investigated gatherings in No 10 a is now the chief of staff designate of the Labour leader.

Nor do I believe that it is any coincidence that her supposedly impartial chief counsel, Daniel Stilitz KC, turned out to be a strong Labour supporter who repeatedly tweeted personal attacks on me and the government.

When I left office last year the government was only a handful of points behind in the polls. That gap has now massively widened.

Just a few years after winning the biggest majority in almost half a century, that majority is now clearly at risk.

Our party needs urgently to recapture its sense of momentum and its belief in what this country can do.

We need to deliver on the 2019 manifesto, which was endorsed by 14 million people. We should remember that more than 17 million voted for Brexit.

I am now being forced out of parliament by a tiny handful of people, with no evidence to back up their assertions, and without the approval even of Conservative party members let alone the wider electorate.

The Conservative party has the time to recover its mojo and its ambition and to win the next election.

I had looked forward to providing enthusiastic support as a backbench MP. Harriet Harmanas committee has set out to make that objective completely untenable.

The committeeas report is riddled with inaccuracies and reeks of prejudice but under their absurd and unjust process I have no formal ability to challenge anything they say.

The privileges committee is there to protect the privileges of parliament. That is a very important job. They should not be using their powers a which have only been very recently designed a to mount what is plainly a political hit-job on someone they oppose.

I am very sorry to leave my wonderful constituency. It has been a huge honour to serve them, both as mayor and MP.

But I am proud that after what is cumulatively a 15-year stint I have helped to deliver among other things a vast new railway in the Elizabeth line and full funding for a wonderful new state of the art hospital for Hillingdon, where enabling works have already begun.

Lust, cruelty and a desperate need for attention ... I thought my old journals would bring back warm memories a in reality they were a document of the unique misery and painful insecurities of adolescence

I own nine of the most devastatingly embarrassing books ever written. They might be the only books that attempt to algebraically prove the existence of God 14 pages after the words, aI donat want to touch his penis.a Actually, thatas probably not true a the books are my teenage diaries, and thereas nothing unique about the humiliating and exhilarating experience of being a 14-year-old girl.

If thereas one thing in the world I never want to be again and wish I never had to be in the first place, itas a teenage swot with PE in the morning. When I ask female friends if they think being a teen was uniquely awful, one replies auniquely awful and uniquely speciala a but I donat think that is something I ever felt. I love to see the magic of girlhood represented in coming-of-age movies such as Lady Bird and Booksmart, but I look back at my own adolescent self and see a floundering fish who hurt and was hurt with little meaning or beauty.

When the feelgood movie made him an Oscar-nominated star, the strain of hiding who he was almost forced him to quit acting. He explains how opening up about being gay, then trans, saved his life

Elliot Pageas memoir is called Pageboy. At its heart is the story of his transitioning from an Oscar-nominated actress, best known for the wonderful coming-of-age comedy drama Juno, to one of the worldas most high profile trans men. He writes, rather beautifully, about gender dysphoria, top surgery and finally finding himself. But the book is so much more than a tale of transition.

Pageboy is a modern-day Hollywood Babylon, written by a sensitive soul rather than a scandalmonger. Page depicts a film industry even more rancid than we may have suspected. This is a world where itas not only the Harvey Weinsteins at the top of the pyramid who get to abuse the young and powerless a just about everybody seems to have a go. Itas a world where most people appear to be closeted in one way or another, a world where more acting is done off set than on.

Across the west, popular misery and aelite overproductiona are fuelling crisis, argues data-driven historian Peter Turchin. So what can we do to turn things around?

In February 2010, Peter Turchin, a relatively obscure researcher at the University of Connecticut, wrote a letter to the distinguished journal Nature. He was responding to their a2020 visionsa issue a an upbeat dawn-of-the-decade exercise that collected predictions of progress from across science and politics. Turchin assumed the role of Cassandra. aThe next decade is likely to be a period of growing instability in the United States and western Europe,a he wrote, awhich could undermine the sort of scientific progress you describe.a He pointed to waves of disruption that tend to recur every 50 years. aAll these cycles look set to peak in the years around 2020.a There was still time to change course, though: with measures to improve wellbeing and reduce economic inequality, arecords show that societies can avert disastera.

Normally scientists enjoy being proved right, but for Turchin, the way the following decade panned out must have seemed a bit too on-the-nose. The response to the financial crisis wasnat a New Deal-style rescue package as head recommended, but austerity and a widening of the gap between rich and poor. Frustration at the established order threw up Brexit in Britain and Trump in the US. Right on cue, 2020 delivered a pandemic, economic chaos and a president who refused to concede defeat at the polls. The following January saw the storming of the Capitol, and images of insurrection that seemed like a throwback to an earlier revolutionary era.

Some newspapers focus on former PMas accusations in fiery resignation letter, while others point readers towards damning committee report

Boris Johnsonas departure from life as an MP ahead of the publication of the Partygate report plays out across Saturdayas front pages, which are filled with a mixture of acrimony, triumph and predictions of further aTory bloodlettinga.

The Guardian focuses on the reason for his decision to resign as MP, noting that the privileges committee found he misled parliament and recommended a lengthy suspension from the House of Commons. It finds a spot lower down for the reaction to Rishi Sunak approving Johnsonas honours list, regarded as rewarding those involved in the Partygate scandal.

These getaways are geared towards giving men a reboot, and include both the spiritual a breathwork and midfulness a and physical, through activities such as mountain walking and coasteering

One definition of wellness is athe state of being healthy, especially when it is something that you actively try to achievea. However, in todayas society, wellness seems to be a catch-all term for anything remotely health-related, fitness, dietary or cosmetic. You name it: biometric facials, sleep syncing, orgasmic meditation. Perhaps thatas why wellness is a word thatas still taboo among many men, particularly those from more traditional, working-class backgrounds.

Aside from a dilution of the term by fads and crazes, such as the ones listed above and those floating around on TikTok and Instagram, another issue may be a lack of retreats for men. Weare not talking the Ant Middleton-style aman-up or go homea military fitness camps, nor Wim Hof woo-woo, just solid, safe spaces for men to talk, improve physical and mental wellbeing and escape the pressures of everyday life to develop meaningful connections. Thankfully, there are some pioneers leading the way in male wellness, ranging from hiking escapes in Snowdonia and breathwork getaways in southern Spain to a GBTQ pop-up retreat in Europe, promoting communication and emotional connection.

48th over: Australia 128-5 (Green 8, Carey 4) Green keeps on playing outside that off stump! Reaches very wide for an off-balance drive that hits cover directly. Gets an edge along the turf to third slip. He edged to slip in the first innings. Spoke about the IPL transition, where you go from hitting the ball in front of your body for power, to hitting the red ball as late as you can. But heas more in white-ball mode here. Good seam from Shami cuts back in but his bounce takes it over the stumps. Indiaas bowlers have had so many beaten edges in this match, and Iad say itas because theyave so often bowled a small margin too short.

Champions League final is BTas last big night but its successor does not have a UK website and cost to watch it is unknown

BT Sport will host its last big night on Saturday. The Champions League final in Istanbul will be the end for a brand that, over the past decade, extended live coverage of sport in the UK and became the first serious rival to Sky Sports. Taking its place will be TNT Sports, a channel that promises anew name, same gamea. But with a month until it launches, viewers are still in the dark as to what exactly that will mean.

TNT Sports goes live on 18 July but does not yet have a website in the UK. The cost of watching it remains not entirely clear either. That the channels will roll over existing deals for the Premier League and Champions League, alongside Premiership rugby union and MotoGP among other sports, is guaranteed, but some programmes are being axed and who will present and analyse the action is not known. All of this comes against a backdrop of increasing turbulence in what was once known as the pay-TV industry, with TNT Sportsa UK and Ireland offering just one cog in a global wheel of content.

More pain could follow the calamities of Wasps, Worcester and London Irish but the drive exists to fight for rugbyas future

Sometimes it is not the icebergas fault. Had the captains of some of English club rugbyas largest vessels been more focused on avoiding this seasonas multiple shipwrecks they could easily have steered a more prudent course. Hindsight always helps but if your outgoings constantly exceed your income you are bound to sink eventually, as Worcester, Wasps and now London Irish can testify.

Most painful for those most deeply affected, perhaps, is that even the most myopic of lookouts could recognise this ever-present threat. Yet for whatever reason a arrogance, selfishness, greed, complacency, poor governance a the clubs and their governing body remained in thrall to the same old flawed model. Rich benefactor equals rugby success, right? Not if they ignore the basic tenets of sound business practice it wonat.

I owe my happiness to the queer friends I made. And to my younger self who hated being gay: all is forgiven

I was lying awake the other night, thinking about death, when I realised something big. Of all the things I could be reincarnated as a a tapeworm, a dung beetle, a writer (again) a the thing I most fear is coming back as straight. Honestly, the idea sends a shiver down my spine. Because, no disrespect to my straight friends, but I donat know how they get through the day. Straight women, in particular. I donat understand how they go through life, dealing with the whole power dynamic in opposite-sex relationships, without even the option of dating other women. I donat think I could hack it, and they have my utmost respect.

Itas not just the romantic side of things, though a over the years, being gay has shifted my entire worldview. Itas made me think twice about every social norm, from the nuclear family to uncomfortable footwear. And Iam not saying that all straight people lack the imagination to challenge these things too, but being gay really helps. Recently, it dawned on me that Iam perfectly within my right to shop for clothes in the menas section, and that in itself has been a revelation. Again, I know straight women who do this. But when it comes to wearing amenasa clothes with any real ease and confidence, being a lesbian just helps.

Swift investment would make any Labour government a climate and economic leader a so why the dithering?

As wildfire smoke engulfs much of the east coast of the US and average global temperatures continue to rise, with the world imminently facing some of the hottest years on record, it would be an error of judgment for the Labour party to delay its green investment pledge. Doing so would not only be a mistake for our economy and the climate, but also threaten Labouras electoral prospects, given strong public demand for bold action on this issue.

Together with its world-leading promise to end all new domestic oil and gas developments, the Labour partyas APS28bn-a-year investment pledge to green industries marks the scale of climate ambition we need to see from a future British government. These commitments mark Labour out as a potential major climate leader and, like Joe Bidenas landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the investment pledge clearly demonstrates that the party is in tune with the economic realities of todayas world.

No one wants to see the cast naked any more, so this TV follow-up shuns stripping for comic capers and cost-of-living tragedy. Even better, it actually gives plotlines to the female characters

Television shows that remake films tend to be exercises in pointless nostalgia. Do you remember the movies Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons and American Gigolo? Yes. Would you like to watch a weird cosplay version of them that goes on for 10 hours and confusingly reshuffles the plot? Um, not really. The Full Monty (from 14 June, Disney+) is the latest entrant in an already tired genre, but it has one up on most of the competition: all the core cast are in that sweet spot where theyare successful enough to be worth rehiring but not so famous theyave turned the reboot down. That means thereas no need to rejig the story of redundant Sheffield steelworkers who, in 1997, found solace in hard times by forming a Chippendales-style male striptease troupe. We simply return to Sheffield 26 years later, to find the same characters, played by the same actors, living the same lives.

The film had it easy, plot-wise, in that it built towards that heartwarming climactic moment when a sextet of men showed the local community their penises. Those six appendages were the pegs on which were hung serious subtexts about the misery of life in a Thatcher-ravaged, deindustrialised northern England. A quarter of a century on, however, the prospect of the old boys windmilling their hosepipes in housewivesa faces would horrify everyone. So the new Full Monty is fully clothes-on.

The gardening pioneer Joy Larkhom changed how we grow veg and championed rocket, salad bags and pak choi. What is she growing now?

Joy Larkcom is singing the praises of sugarloaf chicory. aItas got deep roots, its leaves form a dense, crisp heart, and it withstands drought better than lettuce,a she says. aSadly, these rarely find their way into the seed catalogues for amateur gardeners.a Her love for this unsung salad leaf sums up Larkcomas lifelong passion: to bring more variety to our kitchen tables and preserve genetic diversity.

Larkcom, 87, is a vegetable grower and writer famous for her influential books from The Organic Salad Garden to Grow Your Own Vegetables. Drawing from direct experience a for 30 years as an experimental market gardener in Suffolk; latterly in her garden in West Cork a her writing reads just as she speaks: authoritative yet lighthearted, combining practical, scientifically sound advice with an enthusiasm for continued learning.

Traditional plastic rain barrels have often been hidden away but greater focus on conservation drives design changes

The market was ripe for a makeover because aone of the barriers to having a water butt is that itas got to be in your garden, and we want our gardens to look nice, donat we?a says Gin Tidridge, a product sustainability manager at the B&Q owner Kingfisher.

Scaling back of moderation and rise of AI are creating the perfect storm to weaken elections and democracy

Increasing misinformation on social media, platforms scaling back content moderation and the rise of AI are converging to create a perfect storm for the 2024 elections that some experts warn could put democracy at risk.

YouTube this week reversed its election integrity policy, allowing content contesting the validity of the 2020 elections to remain on the platform. Meta, meanwhile, reinstated the Instagram account of misinformation super spreader Robert F Kennedy Jr and will allow Donald Trump to post again imminently. Twitter has also allowed Trump to return, and has generally seen a rise in the spread of misinformation since billionaire Elon Musk took over the platform last year.

The dead trees are from a pine forest that used to exist there; the mountain is made from ash from the volcano.a

Former spokesman for Boris Johnson does not believe this is the end of his political career despite standing down as MP

Weave got a bit more from Ed Davey, who has accused Boris Johnson of having aa track record of deceit and liesa.

I never thought he was fit to be an MP, let alone prime minister. He has a track record of deceit and lies.

But I hope today is not just about Boris Johnson. I think itas about the whole Conservative party who put him there in the first place.

I think there should actually be a general election.

I think the chaos and division in the Conservative party, the fact that theyare so out of touch on the cost of living, on the NHS, it means weave got to put the country out of its misery with these Conservatives.

When the feelgood movie made him an Oscar-nominated star, the strain of hiding who he was almost forced him to quit acting. He explains how opening up about being gay, then trans, saved his life

Elliot Pageas memoir is called Pageboy. At its heart is the story of his transitioning from an Oscar-nominated actress, best known for the wonderful coming-of-age comedy drama Juno, to one of the worldas most high profile trans men. He writes, rather beautifully, about gender dysphoria, top surgery and finally finding himself. But the book is so much more than a tale of transition.

Pageboy is a modern-day Hollywood Babylon, written by a sensitive soul rather than a scandalmonger. Page depicts a film industry even more rancid than we may have suspected. This is a world where itas not only the Harvey Weinsteins at the top of the pyramid who get to abuse the young and powerless a just about everybody seems to have a go. Itas a world where most people appear to be closeted in one way or another, a world where more acting is done off set than on.

Brooke Kroegeras terrific book focuses on the sexism of the mainstream media, a barrier and disparity that remains

Armed with a flask of scotch, a pen and notepad, Martha Gellhorn snuck on to a hospital ship headed for Omaha Beach, Normandy. At dawn on 6 June 1944, she became the first American correspondent to reach the battle. Colliers magazine honored her with a five-page spread. But as Brooke Kroeger writes in her sweeping history, Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism, Gellhornas name didnat appear on the cover. Colliers bestowed that honor on her husband, Ernest Hemingway.

Soon after publication, the US military confiscated Gellhornas press credentials. Hemingwayas third wife had brazenly evaded rules barring female correspondents from the frontlines. Utterly undaunted, Gellhorn went on to chronicle every major conflict in the 20th century.

Opposition leaders have begun to plan for the end of the regime a and some believe it is now inevitable

Is Russia about to experience a period of dramatic political change? If so, can exiled democratic forces unite into a coherent bloc, and is there any way for them to force themselves on to the political scene?

Meanwhile, evidence is growing that the dam was blown up after seismic data showed there was a blast at the site in the early hours of Tuesday. Norsar, the Norwegian Seismic Array, said signals from a regional station in Romania pointed to an explosion at 2.54am. Norsar did not draw conclusions on who was responsible.

The Kremlin on Friday accused Ukrainian forces of killing civilian victims of flooding caused by the collapse of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine in repeated shelling attacks, including one pregnant woman.

I owe my happiness to the queer friends I made. And to my younger self who hated being gay: all is forgiven

I was lying awake the other night, thinking about death, when I realised something big. Of all the things I could be reincarnated as a a tapeworm, a dung beetle, a writer (again) a the thing I most fear is coming back as straight. Honestly, the idea sends a shiver down my spine. Because, no disrespect to my straight friends, but I donat know how they get through the day. Straight women, in particular. I donat understand how they go through life, dealing with the whole power dynamic in opposite-sex relationships, without even the option of dating other women. I donat think I could hack it, and they have my utmost respect.

Itas not just the romantic side of things, though a over the years, being gay has shifted my entire worldview. Itas made me think twice about every social norm, from the nuclear family to uncomfortable footwear. And Iam not saying that all straight people lack the imagination to challenge these things too, but being gay really helps. Recently, it dawned on me that Iam perfectly within my right to shop for clothes in the menas section, and that in itself has been a revelation. Again, I know straight women who do this. But when it comes to wearing amenasa clothes with any real ease and confidence, being a lesbian just helps.

A pair of former unified champions who have strayed from once-clear paths to stardom will meet on Saturday at Madison Square Garden with a chance to restore faded luster

Some of boxingas most compelling matchups wither on the vine before theyare finally made and others take place before theyave ripened. One could argue that Saturdayas fight at Madison Square Garden between Josh Taylor and TeA3fimo LA3pez falls partway into each column.

Like the soupy haze that has enveloped Manhattan for most of the week, the outlook ahead of the scheduled 12-round showdown for Tayloras WBO junior welterweight title is thick with uncertainty. Both men are former unified champions in different weight classes whose once-clear paths to mainstream stardom have been diverted not by outright disaster, but lengthy spells of inactivity and performances short of their heightened standards. Yet each is heartened by the reality that a restoration of luster is one big result away. Crossroads fights like these seldom take place so close to the summit.

As menas fashion week gets underway in London, Martine Rose, a favourite of Drake and Kendrick Lamar, opens up about the lack of support for fashion designers in the UK and how her work references the aoppresseda, not the aoppressora

Menswear trends such as track tops and weird trainers may are often attributed to a combination of social media, celebrity and kismet. But thereas another factor that links them: the designer Martine Rose.

The London-born 42-year-old might not be a household name like Ralph Lauren or Giorgio Armani, but she has a greater influence on what fashionable young men wear in 2023. Having designed menswear since 2007, she is an originator of some of the more outlandish trends ranging from gorpcore (hiking gear for people who donat hike) to Justin Bieberas wide-legged jeans. Her climbing collection and cult football shirt based on Liverpoolas 1992 strip are already five years old. Last year, a heeled version of Nikeas Shox sneakers a perhaps the weirdest of weird shoes a became the go-to trainer among the fashion crowd and sneakerheads alike.

Dutiful German generosity revealed in analysis of gratuity habits in six EU countries, the UK and US

In Germany it seems to be pretty much automatic, pretty much all the time. In France and Spain it all depends a presumably on social subtleties that you have to be French or Spanish to understand. In Italy, why would you even bother?

When, and how much, to tip is a question that has been vexing visitors to Europe for as long as people have been travelling around the continent. Outside their own country, it seems even Europeans donat know the answer.
